Biography

I received my BSc in Data Science and Engineering from Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), Barcelona in 2024.

During my studies, in Fall 2023 I spent a semester abroad, at EPFL, where I worked on a research project at LIONS. Subsequently, in spring 2024 I spent another semester abroad, at Georgia Tech, for my BSc thesis.

I re-joined LIONS first as an Intern in Fall 2024 and then as a PhD student in Spring 2025.

Currently, I am interested in the efficiency, stability and understanding of sequence-models such as Transformers or SSMs.

I enjoy sports, food, and recreative programming.
